These clever players have chosen for this occasion a dramatization of "Dr. Dolittle," the entrancing story "To all children, children in vears and children in heart," from the pen of Hugh Lofting, who tells of Dr. John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, who with his many kinds of pets, sets sail for Africa to give medical aid to monkeys who have been suffering with a strange malady. It is the tale of their astonishing adventures in Africa, in the jungles, at Polynesia, on the Barbary coast, and on their trip home. Those instrumental in the production, and the dramatic per- sonne' are: Mrs. Emmons Blaine, Jr., Mrs. Nathaniel Blatchford, Mrs. Henry Tenney, Mrs. Perry Smith, Mrs. Frederick Mason, Mrs. Samuel G reeley, Mrs. Sebastian Hinton, Mrs. Richard Bull, and Mrs. Norman Harris who has written the incidental music. This play which will benifit the Southern Woman's Educational alliance will be given under the auspices of the Chicago branch which includes southern women of Chicago and along the north shore. The alliance was organized as a southern center which aids the girl in finding out the education she needs, and then helps her to obtain it. It has grown until it now has branches in some of the large cities throughout the country. The first branch was established in Chicago in 1922, and Mrs. Charles N. Strotz of Chicago is a member of the executive board. Tickets are on sale at Adam's Drug store. Nancy Foster Porter Will Be A MayBride MES Nancy Foster Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James F.
